    What a great meal. In the shadow of St. Stephen's Basilica. Goulash soup and ham, tomato and cheese stuffed langos. Enjoyed it all.

    A fine dining bistro with comfortable seating and exquisite décor located in the lovely town of…read moreMaynooth. Came here during my Sunday walk of Royal Canal Way, but the lunch seating was full at around 2:00 pm so the staff told me to come back at around 5-6 pm for dinner. Came back at around 5:20 pm and was instantly offered a table. Service was friendly and attentive. Starter: foie gras. Came with two slices of intact foie gras with berry sauce, veggies, and sliced apples. Rich, gamey, savory flavor of goose liver, no foul taste at all, literally melting in the mouth, perfect to be enjoyed both stand-alone and with the crispy bread. The berry sauce and the sliced apples helped offset the fattiness of the foie gras and added succulent refreshing and fruity taste to the dish. One of the best foie gras dishes I've ever had. Entrée: 10 oz dry-aged rib eye steak, medium, with mash potato, green beans, and a bit of house green sauce. Steak came with beautiful grill marks, temperature was spot-on, packed with beefy flavor, and the beef fat part were kept intact to add more flavor and texture to the steak. The house green sauce had pleasant spiciness and rich grassy flavor, a great companion for both the rich flavor of the steak and the creamy mash. This steak dish was probably better than many of the steakhouses out there. Drink: I am more of a whiskey guy, but I asked the staff to recommend a house red wine to go with my steak. A bit less sweet than I had desired, but very complex flavor of toasted oak, leather, pepper, pear, orange peel, and a bit of subtle sweetness of ripe red grapes or grape juice. Very nice. Dessert: house tiramisu. A bit on the sweet side, but the texture was silky smooth, and the melted black chocolate on plate provided yet another layer of appetizing flavor. Overall 5 stars. Worth every cent of the money, and the high rating on Yelp is well deserved.

    Was really pleasantly surprised by Fratelli's. Had seen vouchers for it on the various different…read moreusual sites and hadn't given it much thought tbh. Got invited along to an occasion here last weekend and used said voucher. The menu really impressed me, seemed very authentic with many options not often seen at your usual run of the mill Italian. I went for the venison sausage with berry and red onion reduction for starter and wild boar bolognese with papardelle fresh egg pasta topped with parmesan cheese. Both were top notch and I'd recommend both for sure. We finished by sharing the homemade tiramisu and a chocolate cherry cake, both didn't last long, the tiramisu in particular was bloody fantastic. Nice as I've had :)

    Fratelli's fills a spot in Swords village that has long been left open - a decent Italian…read morerestaurant. At one stage there were three in the village but they all closed their doors in recent years. They serve authentic Italian food, with an emphasis on freshly made items like pasta and tiramisu (one of the best I've had). The service is fantastic and there is value to be had in the Early bird or voucher offers to be found on the usual discount sites, though the ala carte menu is definitely on the pricier side. No better (or other!) place to look for a good feed of Italian fare in Swords; you'll get a warm welcome and be looked after very well if our experience was anything to go by!
